    Ultimate turkey gravy

    should I use the gravy packet that came with the turkey or not? I have the other ingredients chopped and ready. Thanks to the help!

    I don't use it. No idea what is in it. Have you read my method for making gravy? Hard to beat...

        Fenixrising103 the greatest gravy I have ever made was using @Meathead's approach ... put the backbone, the giblets and the wing tips in a stock, add celery, onion, carrots ... put that pan under a spatchcocked turkeys in your smoker/cooker/grill ... holy dang

        The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

        the good one grill

        The Good-One Open Range is a charcoal grill with an offset smoke chamber attached. It is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. The grill sits low in front and doubles as a firebox for the smoke chamber which is spliced on above and behind so it can work like a horizontal offset smoker only better. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

        Griddle And Deep Fryer All In One

        The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all. Plus it has a built in cutting board, garbage bag holder, and paper towel holder. An additional work table on the left side provides plenty of counter space.
